We are delighted to invite you to the EY IPO Retreat on 29–30 October 2013 at Bab Al Shams, Dubai.An IPO marks a turning point in the life of a company and the rewards can be significant. The key to a successful float is preparation, experienced guidance and effective execution. EY views an IPO as a business transformation process, not just a transaction, and the Retreat will help prepare you for this change.

This event is an exclusive opportunity for a select group of CEOs and CFOs contemplating an IPO. The MENA IPO Retreat will demystify all aspects of a float through workshops, case studies and open floor discussions. Attendees will hear business leaders share their personal experiences of floating their own companies as well as from a range of advisors who understand what it takes to deliver a successful IPO.

An IPO is not for everyone but the MENA IPO Retreat offers an unparalleled opportunity to find out whether it is the right growth option for your business.

We hope that you are able to join us.
